    My research vision lies in pursuing research in the field of information retrieval, advancing the state-of-the-art on hard information seeking problems, and enabling the technological transfer of my research to real world applications. 

    The main focus of my research is building the necessary methods and technology to enable human – machine collaboration for retrieving information by

    1. obtaining a deeper understanding of user preferences and decisions during information seeking activities,
    2. developing algorithms that can interact with users during information seeking activities, and
    3. building the appropriate evaluation methodology to measure progress.

    At the same time, my research is driven by domains and applications in which information seeking remains a hard problem, including legal search (which I pursue at FEB - Amsterdam Business School) and medical search (which I persue in collaboration with Cochrane NL). 

    To achieve the aforementioned goals I am leading the Human-Machine Intelligence Lab (HuMIL), within the Informatics Institute and the ILPS group, and I have organized my research and research team around three axes:

    • Human-Machine Interactive Search Algorithms,
    • Benchmarks and Evaluation Methods, and
    • Applications in the Legal and Medical fields.
  • Publications
